- Description
- Laballe's 2012 vintage Bas Armagnac, bottled in 2026 after 14 years in wood, showcases this family-run house's commitment to traditional production since 1820. The spirit shows the characteristic dried fruit, toasted oak, and subtle spice of mature Armagnac, with an underlying richness that speaks to careful aging. At 47.7%, the cask strength preserves the brandy's intensity and texture without harshness. Best appreciated neat or with a single ice cube by those who value traditional French brandy-making.
